[Should Nari look around, he might find a young girl sitting by herself under a tree. As of late, Mabel couldn't help but wonder a few things after spending her time around here. At first, she thought that maybe...just maybe keeping such a bright attitude would be enough to make herself stop feeling sad.

After all, she was suppose to be dead. It wasn't a happy topic to discuss or think about but how was she suppose to talk to someone about this?]

[nolittlesecret]

[Nari keeps his temple pretty open to people, but that doesn't mean he expects a kid to suddenly be there. And a sad one at that.]

........... [He clears his throat.] Hi.

[meowbel]

[When Mabel heard someone nearby, that's when she smiled a little back at him!]

Well, hello to you too! Didn't expect to see a ninja around here!

[nolittlesecret]

Ninja?

[That makes Nari look around.]

Don't think my shinki is one of those.

[meowbel]

No, I meant you! You're the ninja around here! Who else could it be anyway?

[She said before her smile got a bit more nervous. Did he happen to find her moping around here?]

[nolittlesecret]

....... you're trying to cover up your being depressed on my temple grounds by calling me a ninja. Excuse me if I was a bit confused about who you were talking about.

[meowbel]

[ . . . ]

Well, that doesn't stop you from being one anyway! You make it sound like it's a bad thing!

[Nope, totally not avoiding the subject here. What are you talking about?]

Phone

[photoshooter]

[Brrrriiinnngg! Or whatever Nari's ringtone is.]

Hey! This is Prompto Argentum. Can I ask you a favor? Uh, not for me! It's for a cat. Well, I guess it's for me in that it's related to a prayer Lucina and I are answering, but it's not really about the prayer exactly...

[nolittlesecret]

[It's this as a general ringtone. Though Nari might be listening to it instead of picking up his phone for a bit.]

A cat? Sure. Shoot. What do ya need?

[photoshooter]

We were feeding some strays down on the Near Shore, but one of the cats there is, um. She has... Okay, she's pregnant. Like, really pregnant. Gonna-pop-any-day-now pregnant. So we looked it up and apparently kitten food is good for cats carrying children since they need the nutrients, and I remembered you have some kittens, right? So can we have some of your food for her? We'll pay you back!

[nolittlesecret]

I make my own food for the cats, but I can spare some. It's a lot more nutritionally sound than the stuff you can buy in stores. [This guy loves his animals that much.] Need directions?

[photoshooter]

Yeah! I mean, yes. I mean, we have our own kitchen, so we should totally be able to pull it off.

[Lucina is a medieval princess. That leaves Prompto to make use of their temple's modern kitchen. This is going to end in disaster.]

Is it hard?

[nolittlesecret]

Not for me, but I've been cooking since I've been a kid... I think I'll just bring some over to your place. If you wanna learn how to make it, I'll send an ingredient list, but you ain't making it without me there. No offense, Prom, but you don't look like a cook.

[Yes, he's shortened your name already.]

[photoshooter]

'Prom'...? --Uh, dude. Is there some official way cooks are supposed to look?

[nolittlesecret]

Well....... not a "look" per say. More of a feeling. You don't feel like a cook to me. That better?

[photoshooter]

Mmmmmmh... Well, okay, that's fair. Lucina's not used to all the different appliances, and I'm not exactly great at cooking...

Audio, October 12 evening

[toremainbehind]

Would you happen to have any time today?

Audio

[nolittlesecret]

[Oh hey someone Nari actually picks up the phone for.]

Yeah, I'm free. [Mostly because he can't find his shinki and how can he open his place without workers.] What's up?

Audio

[toremainbehind]

[Do you need help, Nari?]

I was hoping you'd help me figure out something.

Audio

[nolittlesecret]

[Naw, it's fine, they come home eventually.]

I can try? Far from an expert on most things.

Audio

[toremainbehind]

I'd rather ask you than potentially cause my shinki to freak out.

[Or Yata will. Fushimi and Judar may end up being mildly disgusted.]

If you're at your temple, I can come over now.

Audio

[nolittlesecret]

[That sounds worrisome...]

I'll try my best then. Yeah, I'll be in the main house unless you want me to meet you at the entrance?

Audio

[toremainbehind]

Whichever's easier for you. [You can almost hear the smile in his voice.]

I can just meet you in the main house.

Audio

[nolittlesecret]

[Why is there a feeling that maybe medical supplies and coffee might be needed?]

The doors open for ya. Just ignore the dog. She's harmless, just excitable.

25 December

[dredefulchilde]

[On Christmas morning, Nari will find a small (stolen) artificial Christmas tree, decorated with (stolen) lights and ornaments, on a table in the living room. Joss isn't anywhere to be seen, but he's left a package for Nari underneath.

There's a homemade card with a watercolor painting of an English-style Father Christmas carrying a Christmas tree on his back and the inscription:

Nari,

Happy Christmas.

Your servant,

J. Fitzthomas

Inside the parcel is a set of expensive-looking stainless steel gardening implements and some sturdy suede work gloves.]
